Is restless leg syndrome (RLS) real?!
Question: Before REQUIP was introduced, I had never even heard of RLS, is this something that was invented by Pharmaceutical companies, or is it an actual illness?

It is real but I don't think it's as common as the drug companies would have us believe. I had a few patients years ago that had RLS, when I was working with people who had severe kidney disease. But in my 20 years working in healthcare I have rarely seen it listed as a diagnosis on someone's chart.
it is real.. many people suffer from it.. its when ur get to sleep bc u think something is crawling down ur leg and nothings there.. yup!
It's super rare.
Affects mainly the rich and famous; hyper rare in working class.
That should respond your question ?
I think I have it..
It's somewhat of an illness. Restless Leg Syndrome(RLS) is when you have an urge to move your legs. For example, if your laying in bed or sitting down, you feel itchiness, crawling, or needles. It usually affects you when you try to relax. If it concerns you, ask your doctor.
yes, it is.
My stepmom has it, its the thing where she feels like shes getting stabbed or her legs just want to walk around. Late at night.. because of it, she tends to wake up around midnight and have to walk around for a little bit so she can go back to sleep - probably didn't make much sense.. >.<
well, anyway.. heres a site.

It is real. Not painful but embarrassing. Twitching uncontrollably
